We Are Family

Deserves a louder and longer listening

The singles are great on the radio, or in a mix tape. But the rest is filler.

eh... već nakon tri minute prve pjesme postane zamorno. previše se ponavlja sve, ne znam, nije za mene

One good song (extended version ftw). Great instrumentation though.

An absolutely beautiful and lush R&B/Disco record. Everything on this album is a winner, especially the big hit, We Are Family.
But stuff like Easier to Love are absolutely gorgeous tracks. Stuff that'd make a great sample for a 2000's/2010's hiphop track.

THAT SAID, for as positive I am about this album, it's just not something I really think I'll ever go back to. Great album that's just not my thing.

Funky disco vibes are off the chart thanks to Nile Rodgers, and it's been ripped to shreds for samples, like the 1:00 intro to "He's The Greatest Dancer" gives you more than enough time to insert the opening verse of Will Smith's "Gettin' Jiggy With It" assuming those lyrics have been burned into your memory for the last near 30 years, but I digress...

The album is a celebration of pure, joyful energy, anchored by powerhouse vocal harmonies and timeless bangers like "Lost In Music" and "Thinking Of You" that prove this group is far more than just that "We Are Family" one hit wonder.

WE ARE FAMILY✨️✨️✨️

it's ok

Some songs that really hit well, it has a good overall sound.

I don’t understand how anyone could dislike disco. 5/5.

Fantastic stuff, I love disco. Some terrific bass lines.

Great vibes with this one! Not quite 5 stars but it had loads of bangers. The non singles just slightly let it down

4 ⭐️

We Are Family is funk, pop, and disco at their absolute best—and it also showcases Nile Rodgers at the peak of his powers. His signature guitar sound is everywhere, and you can clearly hear the DNA of Chic running through the record.

This album moves. It’s funky, it swings, and it’s impossible not to want to sing and dance along. The vocals are outstanding—full of joy, confidence, and warmth—while the musicianship is tight, elegant, and effortlessly cool. Sister Sledge sound completely in control, delivering iconic disco-pop that still feels timeless.

There are a couple of slower moments that slightly blunt the momentum, but they don’t take away from just how strong and influential this album is. At its best, We Are Family is pure celebration.

Favourite tracks: He’s the Greatest Dancer, Lost in Music, We Are Family – all absolute classics
Least favourite track: Somebody Loves Me and You’re a Friend to Me are a bit slow and dull, stopping this from being a full 5/5
Album artwork: A cool, stylish cover that perfectly matches the music inside

Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards can write the hell out of a groove. "Lost in Music" is a certified banger and I want to listen to it every day.

I was getting jiggy with this from the first beat. What a collection of bangers. Nile Rogers has the Midas Touch.

Just like a greatest hits album and taking me happily through midweek with a bit of brilliant disco.

This one is a classic case of sky-high peaks surrounded by a whole lot of pretty forgettable scenery. When We Are Family kicks in, it’s obvious why the song became immortal. That bass line really is one of the greats: bouncy, confident, and just showy enough without slipping into the “look at me” trap that plagues plenty of disco-era players. It’s the sort of line that feels like it’s levitating the whole arrangement.

He’s the Greatest Dancer keeps the magic going—a slick, stylish groove with enough personality to stand on its own. Between those two tracks, you get a great reminder of what the Chic/Nile Rodgers machine could do when it was firing.

The rest of the album, though… it’s hard not to hear it as padded. The charm dips, the songwriting blurs together, and it ends up feeling like the singles are doing all the heavy lifting. There’s nothing offensively bad here, just a lot of material you forget as soon as it ends.

In the end, it’s an album carried by two absolute killers surrounded by filler that keeps it squarely in “good, not great” territory. A solid 3—worth knowing, worth revisiting for the hits, but not something I can bump up in good conscience.

Great!

Deliciously funky and genuinely soulful compared with other disco-era records.

We Are Family is a pretty decent album. It is a 70s disco album meaning that it has all the quirks that you would expect from the genre with the bass, drums and those other string instruments which i can't exactly make out what they are but I'm not sure they would change my opinion. Overall, I'd say that the album was pretty enjoyable. Each song had a rather nice groove to it but i will say that each song does get repetitive which is a staple when it comes to disco due to what it is typically used for. It still did make me wish some songs were a little bit shorter. Even so, this album was still an enjoyable listen and on par with a lot of the other disco albums i have heard.
